My latest acquisitions.

[Triggersmob]

Nothing fancy, but I came on here today and there was no new coin topics, so I thought I'd start one.

2009 Aussie 10 cent


2003 Spanish 5 Euro Cents


Now, show me your latest acquisitions, please.

Nice coins Steve! I just purchased some cool stuff last night at coin club, but don't have the time right now to scan them. Have to be at work soon.     Maybe tomorrow or Friday. Promise.

Nice coins, John.

What's a 4 doubles?

[Nighthawk]

Steve, according to their monetary system from back then, 8 Doubles = 1 Penny in value. So 4 Doubles = a Half Penny, and 2 Doubles must have equaled a Farthing. 1 Double must have been 1/2 Farthing???

Oh, here and there. I must have magician's blood in me or something...... It's like I can make coins appear out of thin air, and remember, a real magician NEVER reveals his SECRETS....LOL   

[Pocketcoins]

sounds like a secret fishing hole story to me. 

[Triggersmob]

How does a one-armed fisherman, tell his mates how big the fish was that he caught?

[Nighthawk]

That's a good one Steve! LOL!
